Synthesis of new heterocyclic derivatives of retinoids

Reaction of α- and β-ionones 1 and 2 with dialkylformamide/phosphorus oxychloride affords enamines 6 and 7 along with the expected chloro derivatives 4 and 5 . Reaction of 6a with hydrazines, hydroxylamine and guanidine furnished pyrazoles, isoxazole, pyrimidine 8–10 showing the potential of these enaminones as key intermediates in the synthesis of synthetic retinoids.     

One-pot synthesis of adamantane derivatives by domino Michael reactions from ethyl 2,4-dioxocyclohexanecarboxylate

Adamantane derivatives were constructed by the one-pot reaction of ethyl 2,4-dioxocyclohexanecarboxylate with 2-phenylethyl 2-(acetoxymethyl)acrylate or 2-(acetoxymethyl)-1-phenyl-2-propen-1-one via domino Michael reactions and a Dieckmann condensation or an aldol-type reaction (four-bond formation). This is the first one-pot construction of adamantane derivatives from cyclohexanone derivatives not involving enamines.     

Acid-promoted multicomponent allylic amidation towards 7-acetamido tetrahydroindole derivatives

An acid-promoted multicomponent reaction for the direct C(sp³)N bond formation was achieved through intermolecular allylic amidation in a one-pot operation to synthesize 7-acetamido tetrahydroindole derivatives from simple and readily available arylglyoxal monohydrates, acetonitriles, and enamines of 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexadione (dimedone) has been developed. Here acetonitrile acts both as solvent and reagent. These tetahydroindole derivatives are formed through domino condensation of the enamines and arylglyoxals followed by annulation and allylic amidation.     

Synthesis of indole derivatives from 2-bromoanilines by a palladium-assisted reaction

In the presence of palladium(II) acetate, 2-bromoanilines readily react with enamines such as N-vinyl-pyrrolidone or α-piperidinostyrene to produce indole derivatives.     

Acetals of lactams and amides of acids. 72. Investigation of reaction of cyclic β-nitroenamines with p-benzoquinone

The process of condensation of p-benzoquinone with the secondary cyclic enamines 2-(2-nitromethylene)pyrrolidine, -piperidine, and -hexahydroazepine is very much dependent on the size of the saturated ring in these compounds. With increasing ring size, the content of derivatives of 5-hydroxybenzofuran decreases, and the quantity of derivatives of 5-hydroxyindole increases; with the seven-membered enamine, a substituted 6-hydroxyindole is also formed. For enamines of the pyrrolidine and piperidine series, 1,4-bis-2-(2-nitromethylene)pyrrolidono- or piperidinohydroquinones are also recovered.For Communication 71, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 3, pp. 357–362, March, 1992.     

Unusual ring-chain tautomerism in bicyclo[4.2.0]octane derivatives

A new type of ring-chain tautomerism, which consists of the reversible conversion of bicyclo[4.2.0]octane derivatives into trisubstituted enamines was found and studied by ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The starting materials were prepared by the stereoselective reaction of (E)-3,3,3-trichloro-1-nitropropene with cyclohexanone enamines.     

The reactions of some ortho-substituted anilines with various α,β-acetylenic ketones. A route to substituted quinolines

The reactions of some ortho-substituted anilines with various α,β-acetylenic ketones were investigated as a route to 4-alkyl-, 4-aryl-, 4-hydroxy-, and 4-amino-3-quinolyl ketones. The anilines examined were 2-aminoacetophenone ( 1 ), 2-aminobenzophenone ( 2 ), anthranilonitrile ( 3 ), methyl anthranilate ( 4 ), and ethyl anthranilate ( 5 ). The acetylenic ketones used were 1,4-diphenyl-2-butyne-1,4-dione ( 6 ), 3-butyn-2-one (7), 1,3-diphenyl-2-propyn-1-one ( 8 ), and 4-phenyl-3-butyn-2-one ( 9 ). The acetylenic ketones typically reacted with the anilines to give enamines; however, exceptions were found. Acetylene 6 reacts with 3 to give the enamine ( 13 ) along with a small amount of 2,3-dibenzoyl-4-quinolamine ( 14 ). The reactions of 1 or 2 with 6 give the respective quinoline derivatives directly. Acetylene 8 reacts with 2 to give 3-benzoyl-2,4-diphenylquinoline ( 22 ) directly, whereas no reaction occurs between 8 and 1 or 3 . Acetylene 9 does not react with 1, 2 , or 3 . The enamines exist as the intramolecularly hydrogen bonded isomers and usually undergo cyclization with 5 molar equivalents of methanolic sodium methoxide to give quinoline derivatives. The 4-quinolinols exist predominantly as the 4-quinolinone tautomer.     

Synthesis and properties of enamine derivatives of 1-methyl-2-phenyl-5-pyrrolone and 5-thiopyrrolone

The corresponding dimethylaminomethylene derivative, from which a number of similar compounds were synthesized by reaction with amines, was obtained by the reaction of 1-methyl-2-phenyl-2-hydroxy-5-oxotetrahydropyrrole with dimethylformamide in the presence of phosphorous oxychloride. The formyl derivatives of 1-methyl-2-phenyl-5-pyrrolone and 5-thiopyrrolone were obtained, and the UV and IR spectra of the enamines of these compounds were studied.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 791–793, June, 1972.     

Reaction of sulfene with heterocyclic α-dialkylaminomethyleneketones II. Synthesis of 5N-1,2-oxathiino[5,6-c] [1]benzopyran derivatives

The reaction of sulfene with 3-dialkylaminomethylene-4-chromanone and 3-dialkylamino-methylene-6-methyl-4-ehromanone gave 1,4-cycloadducts which are derivatives of a new heterocyclic system, i.e., 5H-1,2-oxathiino[5,6-c][1]benzopyran. The structures of the adductswere determined by ir and nmr spectral data. Two new α-hydroxymethyleneketones (3-hydroxy-methylene-4-chromanone and its 6-methyl analogue) as well as some of their derived enamines were prepared. During the preparation of N,N-diethylenamines a self-condensation occurs, which gives the byproducts Xa-b.     

Synthesis of pyridin-2(1H)-one derivatives via enamine cyclization

The nucleophilic vinylic substitution reaction of the aliphatic enaminone 3-dimethylamino-2-formyl acrylonitrile 1 with the nucleophiles malononitrile and ethyl cyanoacetate produced the two unusual reaction adducts 3a and 3b in good to moderate yield under milder reaction conditions. Upon reaction with aromatic amines, these adducts yielded enamines 4 and 5, which eventually cyclized in the presence of base to produce the novel pyridin-2(1H)-one derivatives 8 and 9.     

Amino acids in the synthesis of heterocyclic systems. Synthesis of γ-(5-(1,2,4-Triazinylidene))-α,β-dehydro-α-amino acid derivatives and 6H-pyrido[1,2-d][1,2,4]triazin-6-ones

5-(1,2,4-Triazinyl) substituted enamines 3 react with 5(4H)-oxazolones 4 in acetic anhydride to give acetylated products 5 , while in toluene-acetic acid mixture nonacetylated products 9 are formed. Both types of products were isolated as (E,Z) mixtures. Compounds 5 and 9 rearrange into 6H-pyrido[1,2-d]-[1,2,4]triazin-6-ones 12 by heating in formic acid or in xylene, respectively. Compounds 5 are transformed in the presence of nucleophiles, such as sodium alkoxides or sodium amides via anionic form 10 into corresponding esters 13 and amides 14 of γ-(5-(1,2,4-triazinylidene)) substituted derivatives of α-amino-2-butenoic acid, which exist in 2-(Z),4-(Z) form.     

N-haloamidines—III: S-Triazine derivatives from N-halobenzamidines and enamines

The reaction of N-haloamidines with enamines affords 1,4-dihydro-s-triazine derivatives as the main reaction product. The dihydro derivatives are aromatisable through oxidation with chloranil. The mass spectra of the isolated products are discussed in detail.     

Enantiopure 2-substituted glyceraldehyde derivatives by aza-Claisen rearrangement or C-alkylation of enamines

2-Alkyl derivatives of butane-2,3-diacetal (BDA) protected glyceraldehyde were stereoselectively prepared by aza-Claisen rearrangement of N-allyl-enammonium ions or C-alkylation of enamines. This allows rapid and convenient access to densely functionalized chiral building blocks.     

Novel polycyclic heterocycles. X. Synthesis of 3-amino derivatives derived from 1,2-dihydro-l 1 (trifluoromethyl)-3H,7H-quino [8,1-cd][ 1,5]benzoxazepin-3-one

The reactions of the tetracyclic ketone, 1,2-dihydro-11-(trifluoromethyl)-3H,7H-quino[8,1-cd] [1,5]benzoxazepin-3-one ( 1 ) with pyrrolidine, piperazine, N-methylpiperazine, and dimethyl-amine gave the enamines 2, 13, 11 , and 4 . These were reduced with sodium borohydride to the corresponding 3-amino derivatives 3, 14, 12 , and 5 . The 3-(2-hydroxyethylpiperazino) derivative ( 8 ) was obtained from the 3-chloro compound ( 7 ); 7 was prepared from the carbinol ( 6 ). The 3-NH₂ derivative ( 10 ) was obtained by reduction of the oxime ( 9 ). In 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12 , and 14 , the -OCH₂ protons were non-equivalent, since in the pmr spectrum of each of these compounds there was seen a symmetrical, perturbed AB quartet, with a common JAB of 12 cps, that must be attributed to geminal interproton coupling. This phenomenon had not previously been observed with 1, 9 , or the enamines, since in their pmr spectra, the -OCH₂ protons had invariably been seen as singlets.     

Acetals of lactams and acid amides. 50. 1-Cyanomethylpyrrolid-2-one diethylacetal in the synthesis of derivatives of pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrroles

We have synthesized a series of enamines — derivatives of 1-cyanomethyl-2-methy-enepyrrolidine-by reaction of 1-cyanomethylpyrrolid-2-one diethylacetal with compounds having a reactive methylene link. The enamines undergo a Thorpe-Zeigler cyclization in the presence of bases with the formation of pyrrolo [1,2-a]-pyrrole derivatives. The configuration of the enamines obtained were studied using PMR spectroscopy.For Communication 49, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1616–1620, December, 1987.     

Preparation of fluoroalkyl imines, amines, enamines, ketones, alpha-amino carbonyls, and alpha-amino acids from primary enamine phosphonates

A simple method for preparation of fluoroalkyl beta-enaminophosphonates 1 from alkylphosphonates 2 and perfluoroalkyl nitriles 3 is reported. Olefination reaction of functionalized phosphates 1 with aldehydes gives alpha,beta-unsaturated imines 5. Acid hydrolysis of these fluoroalkyl derivatives 5 affords alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones 6, while their selective reduction with hydrides leads to the formation of allylamines 7, enamines 8, and saturated ketones 9 or amines 10. Selective oxidative cleavage of the carbon-carbon double bond of allylamines 7 gives fluorinated alpha-amino aldehydes 12, alpha-amino ketones 13, or alpha-amino acid derivatives 14.     

Synthesis of hexa-, tetra-, and dihydroxanthene derivatives from salicylaldehyde aminals

Salicylaldehyde aminals react with cyclohexanone upon heating to form tetrahydroxanthene derivatives. The structure of one of these derivatives,viz., 5,7-dichloro-4a-morpholino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4aH-xanthene, was established by X-ray diffraction analysis. The scheme of the reaction was suggested, which involves cycloaddition of intermediateo-methylenequinone (from aminal) and enamine (from cyclohexanone). The reactions of salicylaldehyde aminals with enamines that formed from cyclohexanone can successively afford derivatives of hexahydroxanthene, tetrahydroxanthene, and dihydroxanthene. Procedures were developed for the synthesis of these compounds.N-Substituted 4a-amino-7-nitro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4aH-xanthenes were also prepared by the reactions of dialkylammonium 2-formyl-4-nitrophenoxides with the above-mentioned enamines.

New approach to synthesis of derivatives of 2-(5-hydroxybenzofuryl-3)naphthofurans

Derivatives of 2-methyl-3-benzoyl-5-hydroxynaphtho[1,2-b]furans and 3-acetonyl-4-benzoylhydroxynaphthols were synthesized by the reaction of tertiary enaminoketones withp-naphthoquinone. The transformations of derivatives of 2-methyl-3-benzoyl-5-hydroxynaphtho[1,2-b]furans into naphthofurandiones with nitric acid and transformation into the corresponding enamines with DMF acetal were investigated. It was shown that when the latter react withp-benzoquinone, derivatives of 2-(5-hydroxybenzofuryl-3)naphthofurans are formed.     

Synthesis of unnatural 1-methyl-2-quinolone derivatives

Unnatural 1-methyl-2-quinolone derivatives were synthesized by regioselective C-C bond formation. When 1-methyl-3,6,8-trinitro-2-quinolone (TNQ) was treated with enamines, nucleophilic addition readily occurred at the 4-position, and succeeding hydrolysis of enamine moiety followed by elimination of nitrous acid furnished 4-acylmethyl-1-methyl-6,8-dinitro-2-quinolones. The same products could be prepared by the reaction of TNQ with ketones in the presence of triethylamine. The present reaction enabled the introduction of various kinds of acylmethyl groups substituted with alkyl, aryl or hetaryl groups.     

Formation of derivatives of indole and 1-hydroxyindole upon reaction of 4-oxo-5-hydroximino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzofurazan and -tetrahydrobenzofuroxan with enamines

Upon reaction of 4-oxo-5-hydroxiinirto-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzofurazan and -tetrahydrobenzofuroxan with enamines, derivatives of N-oxides of tetrahydropyrrolo[2,3-e]benzofitrazan are fonned. Upon action of acids on these compounds, we observe formation of derivatives of indole and 1-hydroxyindole, annelated with the furazan and furoxan rings.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 199–208, February, 1994.
